LYRICS

Verse 1
I've spent enough years looking backward,
Wishing I could change somehow
All the roads I took for granted,
All the tears I can't take down.
But I can't rewrite my story,
And I can't undo what's done.
I can bring it to the Savior
And let Him shape the days to come.

Pre-Chorus
I'm done pretending, done hiding away,
I'm ready to live differently today.

Chorus
This is the life I'm choosing now,
With both feet on the solid ground.
No more running from the truth,
No more breaking what I knew.
I'll take responsibility for the things I've done,
And trust Your grace to help me carry on.
I can't change the past, but I can change somehow
The way I live—
This is the life I'm choosing now.

Verse 2
I'll make the calls I've been avoiding,
I'll speak the truth when it's not easy.
I'll stop expecting wounds to heal
While I keep doing what defeats me.
I'll give back where I can give back,
Make amends where I have room.
And when the road gets hard before me,
I'll remember why I choose.

Pre-Chorus
I'm not claiming I'll be perfect,
I'm just done with standing still.
Jesus, give me strength to follow
When the choice requires Your will.

Bridge
Build it on the truth, Lord,
Build it on Your word.
Let my life show the changes
That my prayers have long deserved.
Give me strength to keep on going
When the old ways call my name.
I have lived enough in circles;
I won't keep repeating yesterday.

I won't mistake Your grace for permission
To keep living as before.
Let the mercy that has found me
Lead me through an open door.
One day at a time, Lord,
One honest step somehow,
With Your hand to guide my choices,
I'll live differently now.

Final Chorus
This is the life I'm choosing now,
I'm leaving old excuses on the ground.
I'll face the truth, I'll do my part,
Let You keep changing this heart.
I won't let yesterday decide who I'll become,
There's still a future, there's still work to be done.
I can't change the past, but with You I'll learn how
To live with purpose—
This is the life I'm choosing now.

Outro
Little by little, day by day,
I'll keep choosing a better way.
Not by my strength alone somehow,
But by Your grace, I'm choosing now.

Jesus, lead me through what's ahead,
Help me live the words I've said.
The past is part of my story,
But it won't write the ending now.

This is the life I'm choosing now.
By Your grace…
I'm choosing now.
